A Slow Archive

A Slow Archive by Josh Honn is a deeply personal work of grief before loss, or what the Portuguese call saudade—a three-part poem-diary: an exploration and expression of the role of the lover and care worker in the dying process; an attempt to orient past, present, and future selves amidst encounters with sickness, grief, loneliness and death; and a conversation between, and confession by, two lovers approaching loss at an early age.

Typeset by Sonnenzimmer and illustrated by Erica Hess, A Slow Archive is as a 38-page perfect bound paperback with blind-debossed covers and black end-sheets printed by Book Mobile. The first $1,500 raised was used to provide grants and other direct forms of assistance to un- and underinsured women undergoing cancer treatment. Thank you!
